Aruba’s luxury hotel scene is evolving with the arrival of two new 5-star resorts. We visited The St. Regis Aruba Resort and JOIA Aruba by Iberostar to assess if they meet the high standards expected by discerning travelers.

We set sail aboard Silversea’s Silver Moon for a Caribbean journey, discovering the vibrant cultures and natural wonders of the ABC islands and beyond. From Bequia’s royal beaches to Bonaire’s wild coastlines and Curaçao’s colorful streets, each stop offered a perfect blend of adventure, history, and Dutch elegance.
